About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Looking for a stable, long-term job where your hard work truly matters? We’re searching for a full-time Housemaid to become a valued part of a welcoming family in Hazanah, Sharjah.

If you take pride in your housekeeping skills and are looking to build a lasting relationship with a supportive household, you might just find your next home-away-from-home here.
About the Family
This family’s villa, though cozy, is always buzzing with life and laughter — and they genuinely appreciate the people who help keep things running behind the scenes.

You’ll be joining a household that values honesty, reliability, and a positive attitude. Many previous helpers have found themselves staying for years, becoming like extended family.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping the villa spotless: dusting, sweeping, mopping, and ensuring every room feels welcoming
- Washing, ironing, and folding clothes with care (you know the difference between a dress shirt and a school uniform!)
- Assisting in the kitchen: washing vegetables, prepping simple ingredients, and helping tidy up after meals
- Organizing common areas and bedrooms, making sure toys, books, and shoes all find their place
- Supporting daily routines and lending a hand wherever needed — flexibility is always appreciated in a busy family home
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Previous experience in household cleaning, ironing, and basic kitchen assistance
- A hardworking attitude, with attention to detail and pride in your work

- Currently on a visit visa or cancelled visa and ready for a 2-year employment visa
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience working with larger families or multiple children
- Familiarity with UAE household routines
- A warm, friendly approach — you’ll be part of the daily life of the family
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Stable, long-term employment with a 2-year visa provided and a clear monthly salary (AED 1000)
